Good solid medium-fast processor at a good price. A good choice to have gaming quality hardware available on an "everyday" machine. Note that this processor does not support on-board graphics! A discrete graphics card must be used.Good solid medium-fast processor at a good price. A good choice to have gaming quality hardware available on an "everyday" machine.

Came with my GGPC set which I bought from PBtech recently. Great CPU. Runs all my games (incl. GTA5 at ultra) smoothly with GTX1060. Fast pc boot and launch respond. Temps are also cooler then Intel series when under load. Very happy with the product. Idle temps are around 35°C. Fan is also very quiet. Also overclockable.Came with my GGPC set which I bought from PBtech recently. Great CPU. Runs all my games (incl. GTA5 at ultra) smoothly with GTX1060. Fast pc boot and launch respond.

Great CPU for price range, if running Linux you may have to do some fiddling to get temperature monitoring working. Fan is a little loud compared to my cooler master hyper 212, so may switch that over if it starts to bother me, otherwise it does a decent job at keeping it cool.Great CPU for price range, if running Linux you may have to do some fiddling to get temperature monitoring working.

It is a great processor for a budget or medium build. Really no cons, we stuffed with 16gb of gamin ram, it is just really good. The fan that is included preforms well, and you don't need to get a better fan, however, i might get a good water cooled one. Over all, this is something to look at if you are gaming hard and also multitasking and you dont have xtra $200. I get the feeling that this one is gona last a long while...It is a great processor for a budget or medium build. Really no cons, we stuffed with 16gb of gamin ram, it is just really good.

If you're still running an FX8350, this is the CPU to upgrade to if you're on a budget and want in on the AM4 platform.
I'm using this with the stock cooler in a case with very good air flow and I'm hitting 3.95Ghz on all 4 cores via XFR.
